Many Preflib files are created by running programs. Start in safe mode and
delete them but this is not required. Go in Temp once a week and delete all
the files that you CAN delete.If you want to delete files continuosly without
the prompt then delete them by Command Prompt :
del "%systemroot%\Temp\*.*" /Q

They can be caused by just about anything or any program. You can use
Handle to find out which program is using perfmon and then you can use
exctrlst.exe to disable the counter if you deem it to be a third party
unnecessary counter. Put these tools in your System32 folder. Run
Handle against the file from the Command Prompt, example (press enter
after each line):

cd c:\windows\temp
handle Perflib_Perfdata_xx

You can run exctrlst from any location.
